Jingwen Chu is a third-year graduate student in a direct-entry PhD program at Beijing University of Chemical Technology. Her research focuses on the design of confined metal catalysts for Joule-heating dry reforming of methane, as well as the establishment of structure-performance relationships. She has published one first-author paper in ACS Catalysis and has applied for three invention patents. She is highly interested in applying synchrotron radiation techniques to characterise catalytic active sites and dynamic structures, and she is looking forward to advancing her research capabilities through this summer course.
